History

Epifora has hosted a number of websites and chatboards for over a decade prior to 2006. In that same year, the company was cut off from Verizon's services for violating its "acceptable use policy", although a spokesman for Verizon refused to specify the reason for the termination when asked by Xtra Magazine. [2] [1] [5] The company eventually moved to another provider. According to The Gazette, Epifora has hosted blogs by John Robin Sharpe and American blogger Lindsay Ashford. [5] It closed down in 2007.
